certain Commissioners thereby constituted were c. xxxiii.
empowered to improve and regulate the Township of Salford in the

Borough: And whereas by "The Salford Extension and Improve-
c xxxn. ment ^ct>
ig53s"
the Remainder of the Township of Broughton, the
Township of Pendleton, and part of the Township of Pendkbury
were added to and now form Part of the Borough of
Salford,
and the

Salford District," " the Broughton District," and " the Pendleton
District," and the Corporation were authorized to purchase a further
Quantity of Water from the Corporation of Manchester, and to
supply Water within the Pendleton District as well as within the then

X1X further Provisions were made in respect to the Supply of Gas by the
Corporation of Salford and the Profits accruing therefrom: And
whereas under the Provisions of the said Acts for the Improvement,
Government, and Regulation of the Borough of Salford the Cor-

and the total Amount due by them upon their various Securities
amounted, on the Thirty-first Day of August One thousand eight
hundred and sixty-one, to the Sum of One hundred and eleven
thousand seven hundred and seventy-eight Pounds: And whereas
the Powers and Provisions of the last-mentioned Acts are insufficient,
and it is expedient that the same be enlarged, and that the Corpora-

Powers and Provisions in reference to the Borough be enacted as are
by this Act provided: And whereas to avoid the Inconveniences
arising from several Acts of Parliament, relating to the same Purposes
being in force at the same Time, it is expedient that the said Acts

thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, be repealed, and that some of
the Powers and Provisions thereof be amended or re-enacted and

Stipendiary Justice Act, 1854," Provision was made for the Sittings
of the said Justice, and it is expedient to amend such Act in respect

effected without the Authority of Parliament: May it therefore
please Your Majesty that it may be enacted; and be it enacted by
the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and
